Indigeny Reserve uses a Davis weather system to keep its upscale hard cider and apple brandy delicious and profitable

We recently completed a case study with the help of our friends at Indigeny Reserve in California. The folks at Indigeny chose a Davis weather system because it's affordable, accurate, and scaleable. They're able to add new stations and sensors as needed, which gives them the data and flexibility they need to make important decisions about moisture needs, frost concerns, and temperature issues.

Nik Wallenda, "The King of the High Wire," walked 50 stories above the Chicago River—without using a harness—on Sunday, November 2.

Worldwide live coverage by the Discovery Channel was available online and hosted by NBC news. Davis was honored to be a part of this incredible event as Nik broke not one, but two Guiness World Records. Davis Instruments was the official provider of onsite weather data for NBC and the Discovery Channel during this historic event through the use of five Vantage Pro2 weather stations reporting live weather before, during, and after the walk.
